The stated purpose of the new supercomputer is to facilitate collaborations with industry, support internal R&D, and serve as a showcase for building high-performance computers based on NVIDIA's new Spectrum-X platform.
A supercomputer is an exceptionally powerful entity, composed of thousands of processors, used for performing highly complex tasks, including the development of generative artificial intelligence applications and quantum computing, as well as running scientific simulations.
The main advantage to having a supercomputer in Israel is primarily that local users no longer need to pre-order processing time on scattered supercomputers worldwide.
Currently, supercomputer facilities rent out their usage time to external clients. Of course, availability corresponds to payment, making the use of this technology expensive and cumbersome.
An Israeli supercomputer can greatly streamline processes for local entities and accelerate their research and development endeavors.
The establishment of the supercomputer in Israel marks a significant milestone, introducing an internationally recognized infrastructure that surpasses the standard capabilities found in the local industry.
